I've tried developing against the XBee on both Linux and Mac; it used to be the XBee Mac dev (in 2014/2015) was fairly straight-forward and easy to support ... maybe even easier than Linux dev. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I have found getting set up in Linux was trivially easy in 2017; on the Mac (due to the rxtx lib) it was fraught with issues.
It might be a good idea to focus on Linux dev for now and make that a recommendation for users; any contribs from hard-core Mac devs would, of course, be super-cool ;-)
